From Tourism-Boosting Mascots to Bizarre University Mascots

Mascots are the key to getting fans geared up for a big game. Love them or hate them, they are the face of your beloved sports team. In my case, my favorite team is the University of Kentucky Wildcats and there are two mascots. One is the original UK Wildcat, who kicks all ass in this area. The other is an insufferable little sidekick cat named Scratch. I don’t care much for Scratch.

Check out these 10 magnificent mascots which will get you ready to cheer… Scratch not included.
